The Morrison Firm

Amid the holiday rush, the USPS made a small change that could have a big impact on your tax filing. If you tend to mail documents right at the deadline, take note: USPS will now postmark mail on the day the envelope is processed, not the day it’s dropped off. To protect yourself, request a manual postmark at the counter or send documents via certified or registered mail. These extra steps can help ensure your filing is considered timely and avoid unnecessary penalties.

The BEST way to avoid late penalties or discrepancies in your tax documentation is to have a trusted professional such as The Morrison Firm process your taxes for you. Simply visit us at www.cpamorrison.com or call us at (903) 251-5100 today and let us get started!

USPS Making Changes to Postmark Date System USPS is changing its postmark rules effective 12/24/25. Machine postmarks may reflect processing date, not drop-off date, which could affect timely tax filings. To protect filing dates, request a manual postmark or use Certified or Registered Mail.

As 2025 winds down, charitable giving is top of mind for many families—not just as a tradition, but as a strategic financial move.

Some key facts to keep in mind:
• December is prime giving season: Nearly half of all annual online donations occur in December, with approximately 20% made on December 31.
• Tax benefits matter: Charitable contributions made before December 31 may help manage taxable income. Beginning in 2026, new rules may adjust deductions for high earners and corporations.
• Professional guidance helps: Tax laws are complex, and coordinating with a financial and tax expert — such as The Morrison Firm — can help ensure your charitable giving strategy is both meaningful and tax-efficient.
